Uttar Pradesh accounted for a fifth of all religious conflicts–or “communal incidents”, as they are officially called–in India between 2010 and 2014, according to data tabled in the Lok Sabha.

As many as 703 religious conflicts were reported in Uttar Pradesh (UP) during the past five years, leading to 176 deaths and 2007 injuries, the highest in India. The first six months of 2015 saw 68 such incidents in UP, India’s most populous state, home to about 200 million people.

The latest incident to hit national headlines was the murder of Mohammad Akhlaq, a 50-year-old iron smith in Bishara village, in western UP’s Dadri district. Akhlaq was lynched by a mob on September 28, 2015, on suspicion of eating beef and storing it in his refrigerator. His son Danish, aged 22, was brutally beaten up and is currently hospitalised.

A series of violent incidents were reported before Akhlaq’s death, including the fatal beating of a Muslim man suspected of being a “Pakistani terrorist” – although there was no confirmation of this – and the burning alive of a 90-year-old Dalit man visiting a temple.
